This year we have been spoilt, and will continue to be spoilt, by the number of comic based movies hitting the big screen. Yet so far, they have struggled to live up to many of our expectations. Could that all be about to change as Hugh Jackman dons the iconic beard and Claws of Marvel’s wild man for the sixth time?
In a word, yes.
Wolverine fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief, as director James Mangold, and screenwriters Mark Bomback...

A recent news report by CNN’s Neil Curry asks, why are we fascinated by comic book heroes?

One of the backdrops for this report is May’s MCM London Comic Con. Not only does it feature...

We promised and today we deliver. First there was the James Mangold’s “Tweaser” (the six second Vine clip) then yesterday (March 26th) there was the teaser. But today we get our first proper trailer. And as if that wasn’t enough we’re also showing you the US version with different footage. We really are spoiling you aren’t we?

Yesterday (March 25th) Directer James Mangold gave his Twitter followers a sneak peek of The Wolverine via the new Vine app. You can find it here. Vine videos are only six seconds long but a lot was crammed in there, including a glimpse of a certain X-Men actress. The shot of Famke Janssen could be a flashback but we’ll have to wait and see.
This very brief look is similar to the Iron Man 3 Facebook advertising in which a teaser to the teaser...

We had a new trailer for starters and we got to see Stark’s Iron Legion. Robert Downey Jr spoke about his experiences filming the HUD sequences and how it feels to wear the Iron Man suit. Over at Collider, they enjoyed an in-depth...

The superhero genre of movies, not to mention reboots, shows no signs of stopping in the next few years. Outside of Disney’s stable of Marvel movies and Warner Bros.’ stable of DC movies building up their cinematic universes (and to ultimate crossover movies in The Avengers 2 and Justice League), one can’t forget that Fox also holds the rights of some Marvel characters and continues to make their own brilliant adaptations as well.
Not long...

According to wegotthiscovered.com Famke Janssen flew to Sydney last week to record a cameo for The Wolverine as Jean Grey (aka The Phoenix). This could be what she was hinting at a couple of weeks ago.
The Wolverine is a prequel of sorts to the main X-Men trilogy of films, so we’ll have to wait and see if this will be a re-introduction of her character or something else. But with Mark Millar now helping Fox to build a shared universe, could...

Mark Millar is currently enjoying his new position as Creative Consultant for Fox and their Marvel movies. They currently hold the rights to Fantastic Four, X-Men, Wolverine and Deadpool.
